| Featured Publisher Profile: Cleis Press Felice Newman, Founder and Publisher of Cleis Press, was interviewed by RHYW. When asked: Are there one or two titles that you are particularly excited to see available in accessible editions, and why? Felice answered, "Of course The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability. And our erotica catalog—because people with disabilities are often treated like children who must be 'protected' from such terrible things as sexually-explicit literature. And our recent bestseller Living Life As a Thank You: The Transformative Power of Daily Gratitude—simply because I am personally in love with that book." To read the full publisher profile, click here. Featured Cleis Press Title: Living Life As a Thank You by Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons—The Transformative Power of Daily Gratitude Whatever is given—even a difficult and challenging moment—is a gift. Living as if each day is a thank-you can help transform fear into courage, anger into forgiveness, isolation into belonging, and another's pain into healing. Will Glennon, author of Practice Random Acts of Kindness, praised that this book "can truly transform people's lives—our deep and abiding need to feel and live from a place of gratitude."

New publishing partner, Demos Health
Demos Medical Publishing
DEMOS HEALTH
386 Park Avenue South
Suite 301 New York, NY 10016

I am pleased to announce that ReadHowYouWant has a new Publishing Partner: Demos Medical Publishing, specifically their imprint, Demos Health.
For more than 20 years, Demos has filled a unique educational need for physicians and other health care professionals as well as for people with disabilities and their families. The company publishes world-class texts in neurology, rehabilitation medicine, growing lists in oncology, pathology, and cardiovascular medicine, and acclaimed patient books in multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, epilepsy, stroke, spinal cord injury, and many others.
In October 2007, Demos Medical Publishing LLC. embarked on a new and exciting venture: the launch of its first health and wellness imprint, Demos Health. This imprint furthers the company’s mission of bridging the gap between consumers and the healthcare community, and help to fully distinguish between Demos’ existing professional and patient lines.
This move solidified Demos’ position among the leaders in patient health care publishing. Among the highlights in the Demos Health program are 101 Accessible Vacations: Travel Ideas for Wheelers and Slow Walkers, Mental Sharpening Stones: Manage the Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis: 300 Tips for Making Life Easier, Women, Work, and Autoimmune Disease, and Reduce Your Cancer Risk: Twelve Steps to a Healthier Life. Demos Health will continue to publish new editions of the company’s bestselling titles on such subjects as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy.
“We are committed to keeping the standards and quality that Demos is known for in our patient publications, while making the content and topic areas more accessible to a wider audience,” said Noreen Henson, Director of the new imprint.
As of April 8, 2009 there are 98 titles on the growing list of Demos Health books; they plan to load an initial batch of 60 titles in our system during the next few weeks. We should have them available for sale in our editions beginning in May.
